The authors and illustrators of the Gratitude Publishing House do a fantastic job of presenting stories in which a diverse range of people, with different backgrounds, physical disabilities, various sexual orientations, and religions can see themselves and recognize themselves in books.
About the Publisher
The gratitude publishing house was founded in 2019 by actress, speaker, and author Dayan Kodua. It stands for the promotion of diversity and empowerment through stories and is one of the few publishers that exclusively publishes books featuring BPoC protagonists. By identifying with these diverse heroes, children and young people from all backgrounds are encouraged to discover their own potential. In this way, the gratitude publishing house actively contributes to a diverse German literary landscape and a positively evolving society.
At the same time, the gratitude publishing house aims to provide greater visibility for BPoC newcomer authors and illustrators.For a person who has been part of the white majority society since birth, it is already difficult to establish oneself in the literary world; for BPoC authors and illustrators, it means a completely different kind of struggle, requiring a different kind of courage to achieve the same goal. The gratitude publishing house recognizes this and wants to give exactly these individuals the opportunity to reach children and young people with their words or images.
